nachdem ich mehrere Jahre lang hier regelmäßig mitlese, habe ich mich entschlossen nun auch selbst aktiv zu werden.

Zu den C Waffen:

Die USA haben die Chemical Weapons Convention unterschrieben und ratifiziert.

Aus einem Pressemitteilung vom Juli 2010 der Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons, die die Convention überwacht

The two countries with the largest stockpiles, the Russian Federation and United States of America, have met their intermediate destruction deadlines set by the Convention and are accelerating their activities. The Russian Federation has destroyed nearly 48 percent of its stockpiles to date and the United States just over 75 percent; however, both countries have confirmed that they will not complete destruction of their weapons before the 29 April 2012 deadline.

Auch vom Generalsekretär gab es am 29 November 2010 gute Noten für die Mitarbeit der USA
in seiner Eröffnungsrede bei der Vollversammlung 2010:

During the past year, the Libyan Arab Jamahiriya, the Russian Federation, and the United States of America, all of which have been granted extensions for completing the destruction of their Category 1 chemical weapons, continued to fulfil their reporting obligations in a timely fashion and in accordance with paragraph 28 of Part IV(A) of the Verification Annex to the Convention. The Secretariat was able to
reconcile the data that it had collected during on-site inspections with the information provided by the possessor States.

The United States of America is steadily continuing to complete the destruction of its chemical warfare agents. It has, as at the end of October, eliminated 22,526 MTs of Category 1 chemical weapons, equivalent to 81.12% of its declared stockpile. Four CWDFs (Chemical Weapons Disposal Facility, Amn von mir ) have completed operations, namely Aberdeen, Johnston Atoll, Newport, and Pine Bluff Binary, while the incineration facility at Pine Bluff processed the last one-ton container on 12 November, and is currently conducting closure activities. The Secretariat will, in fact, this week cease its verification activities at Pine Bluff. Three other destruction facilities—at Anniston, Tooele, and Umatilla—are in the final stages
of their mustard-agent campaigns. Current projections by the United States of America indicate that those facilities will complete operations by April 2012.
